If the enemy broke passed the front lines they would be faced with the enchantot passed the enchantments they had wall upon wall to contend withWin? Only in their h all those defenses was just their ticket to enter the real charnel house

The Cloude fae portion of their men for the battleNearly two thousand demonhunters were deployed to the fortress, headed by Master Arcturus Cloude hiarrisoned troops and the expeditionary force

Elite fighters as plentiful as the cloudsCrack soldiers as countless as raindrops

This would be a battle on which they staked the very dignity of their realm

Hammont could not conceive of a way that the vastly inferior wastelanders could win the dayJust as he was thinking, this a spotless white airshi+ps descended overhead

She was flanked by twenty or thirty attendants dressed in clerical garbIf the Tehtiest warriors, then the Clerics were the Temple’s ultimate demonhunters

Circumstances as they were, Oracle Azura was not dispatched to lead the Tehter, after allSo while Phain Mist coiven coether were here to represent the h Priest Rath to the defense of the realreeted them with the utmost respect“Grand Prior Mist, Apostle CloudeThe Governor has been waiting for you for some time”

Neither Temple officer showed any expression on their faceWhether as individuals or representatives of the Te to subject themselves to the whims of Arcturus CloudeHowever, hisand powerfulThe High Priest was beneath the Governor’s notice and their patron deity was asleep with no indication of waking

Every single person in this rooround in Skycloud

When Arcturus saw the two enter he offered a faint smile“With the Temple’s aid our victory is all but assuredNow that you’ve arrived we can settle on individual duties” Arcturus proceeded to delegate responsibilities

Phain and Selene each stood on opposite sides of the squareBetween them were all the Templars and Clerics, in a calure slowly being brought forth

Dawn did not struggleFrost de Winter guided her to the stake and tied her to itNever did the stoic expression leave her faceHer eyes remained fixed on the distance

It was timeYet, where were the wastelanders? Neither hide nor hair of the enelance to the GovernorArcturus siave the order“Begin the execution”
